"My land! grin and bear a cut of ten per cent.? Well, I don't think you've got much spunk, I must say. Why don't you strike?" "Who's going to feed us?" replied the laster, in a tender voice. "Feed you? Oh, you don't want much to eat. Join the union. It's ridiculous so few of the men in Lloyd's belong to it, anyway; and then the union will feed you, won't it?"
I ain't goin' to back out because a girl likes the boss, damn him!" Andrew and the young laster rose and moved quietly before Ellen. Tom Peel said nothing, but he grinned imperturbably. "I 'ain't had a bit of tobacco, and the less said about what I've had to eat the better," Lee went on, in a loud, threatening voice, "but I ain't going to give up.
"If I wasn't going to get married I'd strike," cried the young man, with a fervent glance at the girl. She colored, half pleased, half angry, and the other men chuckled. She took another bite of pie to conceal her confusion. She preferred Flynn to the laster, and while she was not averse to proving to the former the triumph of her charms over another man, did not like too much concessions.
"I never will," returned Ellen, with a great flash, but her voice trembled. "You've got to," said Abby. "I tell you there's no other way." "I'll die before I give up," cried Lee, in a loud, threatening voice. "I'm with ye," said Tom Peel. Dixon and the young laster who sat beside him looked at each other, but said nothing. Dixon wrinkled his forehead over his pipe.
Then tell half a dozen of the sailors to get out the rifles, and see if they can't kill the beast. He'll put us in Davy Jones's locker if he keeps this up! Lively now, men!" The first mate, Mr. Laster, called out the order. A sailor went below to see if the ship was leaking much, and the captain rang for full speed ahead.
Andrew was on the right of Ellen, Granville Joy behind; the young laster, who had called so frequently evenings, was with him. John Sargent and Willy Jones were on the left. They all walked in the middle of the street like an army. It was covertly understood that there might be trouble. Some of the younger men from time to time put hands on their pockets, and a number carried stout sticks.
No, miss; you've het up the fightin' blood in me, and it ain't so easy coolin' of it down." The door opened, and Granville Joy entered. He had knocked several times, but nobody had heard him. He looked inquiringly from one to another, then moved beside Andrew and the laster. Dixon got up. "It looks to me as if it was too soon to be giving up now," he said.
He was annoyed at the man's persistence. There was only the laster resource left. "And before that I was a laster for a week," Moses answered. "I don't want any!" cried Baruch, losing his temper. "But in your window it stands that you do," protested Moses feebly. "I don't care what stands in my window," said Baruch hotly. "Have you not head enough to see that that is all bunkum?
Not far from Land's End we found another inn, which looked much out of place in that wild region. Dick declared that it should be called "The firster and laster inn in England," it having been built some time after the one we had previously passed.
